(... If you could only see what I've seen with your eyes)A wise man once saidA flower is onlyA sexual organBeauty is crueltyAnd evolutionA wise man once saidThat everything could be explained with mathematicsHe had deniedHis feminine sideNow where is the wisdom in that?

I came just as fast as I couldThrough the dirty airOf your neighbourhoodYour name on a grain of riceHangin' around my neckAnd a head like lead

This is the 21st centuryI heard everything they saidThe universe demystifiedChemicals for godThis is the 21st centuryI heard everything they said

A wise man once wroteThat love is onlyAn ancient instinctFor reproductionNatural selectionA wise man once saidThat everything could be explainedAnd it's all in the brain

We lay on a velvet rugBy the open fireShe blew air on my eyelidsI cried "what's it all about? "As she kissed my hairShe said "there, there.."

"this is the 21st centuryI heard everything you saidThe universe demystifiedAstronomy insteadThis is the 21st centuryCan't you get it through your headThis ain't the way it was meant to beMagic isn't deadCome to bedCome to bed

And rest your heavy head my love.. "And slowly, from above,She showed the answer's something that can't be written down

This is the 21st centuryFlash to crash and burnNobody's gonna give you anythingFor nothing in returnThere's a man up in a mirrored buildingAnd he just bought the world

Would you wantTo have kidsGrowing upInto what's left of this?

She shook her head,She said "can't you see?The world is youThe world is me. "
